Q: What do you think about starting a full position on Laurentian bank today primarily for income? Earnings look good to me. I don't own the stock but I'm considering buying it because if I'm right, they do little lending to companies in the oil industry. They also have the least client borrowers who work in that industry. I like that the forward PE of 8.5 and the 4.5% dividend. On the other hand, the valuation has always been less than the big banks so maybe the cheap PE isn't worth factoring.

Q: Hello
REIT, UTILITIES, and TELECOM I believe are 'Interest Sensitive Sectors'?
Are there other 'Interest Sensitive Sectors'? in the TSX like maybe the Consumer Discretionary sector? or other?
Are these 'Interest Sensitive Sectors' affected as much by the US fed rate as by the Cdn fed rate?
If you were to give your best 'guesstimate' how much would these 'Interest Sensitive Sectors' fall in price (% wise) if Interest rates were to increase say 1/2 a percent?
Thank you very much
Stephane

Q: Hi there,
I'm looking to initiate new positions in 2 of the following for my RRSP. Can you tell me what entry point you would target for each and which 2 you prefer? I am wondering if you expect any of them to drop in the next 3-6 months to create a better entry. Assume things are properly balanced.
I would only choose one of the pipelines and 1 utility if I went those routes. Thanks as always!
Inter Pipeline (IPL)
Pembina Pipeline (PPL)
Canadian National (CNR)
Canadian Utilities (CU)
Fortis (FTS)

Q: Hi,
I purchased FSV on June 1 and I wasn't completely sure whether I purchased the pre-split entity or the post-split entity as Colliers has not shown up in my portfolio. Yesterday, it showed a loss of about 60% (another member commented on this drop) and a price of approximately $20. Today, my price on BMOInvestorline is showing about $80 but the TSX is showing it today at about $34. I called BMO and they said I had indeed purchased it pre-split and that Colliers would appear in a few weeks (which I thought was odd).
Do you have any thoughts on the above? Are there more than one FSV trading now? Are any other members facing a similar situation?
Thanks,

Q: I purchased TBE @ 2.15. It now trades @ 0.70 and pays a high dividend. Is it worth increasing my holding to reduce my cost base?
Q: Peter and Team,
With David's Tea going to IPO soon, is this a stock to buy on the first day of trading? I always steer clear of IPO's due to concerns with fees, etc., but this business seems to be strong based on the number of happy customers I see.
Is David's Tea a good idea or would I just be getting into some hot water here?

Q: The company just released its PEA, preliminary economic assessment. I thought it was very good, yet the market does not seem to like it. What do you think going forward. Your valuable advice is always very much appreciated.
Q: Following up on a March enquiry re. ENL - would it be better to sell the TSX listing (which, as suggested, has, at times, little or no volume) and buy the NY listing? Or will Toronto simply follow what the US does in terms of valuation?
Clearly ENL has done very well over the last months so certainly want to hold onto it.

Q: What do you think are the implications for the coming King vs. Burwell US Supreme court verdict on PHM's business model? I haven't heard to much about this case but it appears relevant to PHM as I think they target highly subsidized indications with large reimbursements. Please correct me if I am wrong.
Which side is better for PHM and do you think they will win?
Thanks

After the recent name change yesterday BCI has plummeted. Are insiders selling? Do you see any other reason for the decline in price?

Q: I am considering purchasing either CSH.UN or SIA but am having trouble, due to lack of knowledge, in comparing the 2 companies.
Pro CSH.UN
